A darkly comedic noir-crime thriller about a vengeful ex-con navigating moral uncertainty and unlikely alliances in a gritty underworld.

A crook sets out to get revenge on the thugs who hurt his father in this bloody noir-style crime drama. After being released from prison, Johnny Crown goes after Frank, one of the mobsters involved in a series of Father's Day killings. But Johnny isn't certain Frank is responsible for his father's injuries and seeks help from a sex therapist to make sure he's got the right man.
